Crying Rain

Tonight, the stars they seem,
To eat up the dark sky,
And devour up our hopes and dreams,
And every condescending lie.

And why does the sky not cry,
When everything is falling apart?
Why does it seem like everything ends,
Before it even starts?
And how am I supposed to pick up the pieces,
That you left my aching heart in?

The sky is breaking apart,
Shattering down,
The clouds are dripping,
With unshed blood and tears,
And I, stand alone, drinking it all in,
Why am I the only one, mourning us?
When we never were?
I can't stop,
Crying.
Crying rain.

Lying seems to be,
What made us into being,
But this wretched heart,
Still beats for your illusion of perfection,
Your eyes, they play such a deceitful game,
I fall in deeper, realize, I'm not the same.

And here we're singing a melody,
The chorus sounding unrehearsed,
And there you again, changing key,
And every line, in every verse,
And all your "hello's" and "goodbye's,"
Are etched into my soul,
I'll promise you, I'm going to rip them out,
And burn them.

And even as I fall again,
Your shaking hands, try to bull me back,
But I don't want to live again,
Hurting by your ignorance,
Why can't you just see? The taciturn me?
Lying in its wake? Mourning?
Waiting?
Crying rain.

And I want you to give it back,
Why can't you just give it back?
That sun that use to rise on my,
Seemingly perpetual, atrophying, blue sky?
And I want you to see?
Why can't you just see?
The tears and blood,
Staining my unassuming face?

And I'd love to say "all those broken promises,"
But they are promises you never attempted to keep,
Apparently cuase, we never speak,
And I know your out of reach, out of my league,
But I can't help but feel this way,
Blame it on my heart.

And everytime I lie to myself,
Saying, "I'm over it."
Just know that, I'm hoping to one day,
Believe in my own lies,
Only to throw these failed attemps away,
With the unsuccessful tries,
You've got me,
Crying.
Crying Rain.
